quipped with a petition bear.
ing 33 names of residents In Abe
xrorth east •corner of Stanley
Township, three of the petitioners
ep+prnached the equncil of the
Township of Stanley, on Monday,
to ask for better fire protection
to, their Homes,
Clare Magee, Percy Brown and.
. W. " Colquheeen. weer. the delega-
tion which met- with( the council-
lors, and along with Reeve Harvey,
Coleman and councillors • Harvey
Taylor, Alvin Rau, Ernest Talbot
and .John Scotchmer, discussion of
the situation was -held at some
length. `
Since over a year ago, Clinton
Tonvn Council has proposed that
surrounding rural municipalities
requiring fire protection from the
town brigade should -.;pay .a yearly
$100 retainer fee; Stanley Town-
ship has • not agreed. The other
three surrounding townships have
found the fee satisfactory.
The purpose of the retaining
fee, according to John ,A. Sutter,
.head of' that committee in the
council; is to provide a part of the
capital cost of maintaining the
Are brigade in town. With: up-
wards of $25,000 .invested in equip -
merit which is taken to put -of-'
town fires on Which the • deprecia-
tion is rather high. Clinton„is fac-
ed with an estimated yearly dente -
elation of $1,250, The town coun-
ci1 "feels that those municipalities
making use of this equipment
should be ready to help -share in
, its capital cost,
In addition to this retainer fee,.
. the town expects $75 dor the,. first
hour at which firemen are on call
• to any particular fire, .plus $25per,
Hour after that. --
The petition was made up fol-
lowing a fire in the home of Clare
Magee, who lives on the very out-
skirts .qf . the town. A call to the
Window.

vening;-
I tro uced byAndrew Mc-
Lean,
Y. Mc
Lean, candidate, Mr. Harris .(MP
for Grey -Bruce) remarked upon
the increased crowd compared to
that of four years ago when he
last visited Clinton. The Finance
Minister mentioned surpluses, stat-
ing that it was only fair to , set
this amount against the deficits of
the two yearsbefore, or failing
that, to .apply it against the nat-
ional debit. ,
Harris said he didn't believe•
that increased spending at Ottawa.
is against the tenets of good • gov-
ernment, but that it would be wise
not to stretch spending too far.
He advised not increasing cost too
greatly this year.
Plansof the Liberal party are
to increase benefits udder the
municipal grants system,' said Mr.
Harris: Any municipality with
federal property will. , benefit by
this. '
Most of the tax money, he went
on, goes into defense, social ser-
vices,
ervices, and payments to provinces.
'With defence, Canada - is . in an
awkward position, said Mr. Har-
ris. More and more NATA havecoun-
triesn
been announcing � re-
duction in costs, and Canada would
like to 'be in a position to be able
to do that. However, with its
the geographical location, this
country .is unable to change its -
policies too greatly.
He said that Canada's policy
during the mid -east crisis precip-
itated by the Anglo-French attack
on Egypt last November, has been
consistent and had been the only
policy Canada Gould have follow-
ed. He hoped the outcome would
be "permanent peace in the .east
ern Mediterranean."
He said he "could not under-
stand" the opposition of the Con-
servatives to the Government pro-
posal to give $1 million to help
clear the Suez Canal. He said
that clearing the canal would re-
sult in a resumption of trade,
which would greatly help Great
Britain and France, whoiwere los-
ing millions of dollars while the
canal was blocked,'
There was applause when Mr,
Harris said that faun prices could
be raised, He ,said that for sev=
eral years farm prices returns
have not been commensurate with
those of industry; "It's quite a
problem," he added.
The ' government is concerned.
with this, he. said. "I dont think
we should einibark • en the Amer-
ican system. It would be costly
for everyone, farmers included,
but some system should. be able
to be found, through working with
farm organizations, that willre-
store farmers to their fair level
along with others in -the conimun
ity." • He said the government had
received delegations from both the
F of A and `the
He described Prime Minister St.
Laurent as "The despair of the
opposition:" There had been char-.
ges that the .prime minister is a
captive of the• Liberal party, but
he said, "We're, all captives of his
leadership; ,We will follow him."

ed if perhapsa letter to the CNl t

to make them smoother. "I think
its the roughest railiway, crossing
in the country, said Mayor Miller.

ing it rough was a help in rediic-
ing the speed of traffic and that
cars slowed down more when the
drivers had to consider the cross-

school children. One councillor
said, " rltotorists don't obey the

er said, "The trouble is, the patrol
boy is ai*ays surrounded by a lot
of kids and the motorist doesn't
see hills." A third thought that
the patrol boys weren't emphatic
enough` about their directions.
